Grab a Drink
Dog Pawrk Brewing Company · 27122 Paseo Espada, San Juan Capistrano
This brewery offers a variety of beers on tap for all palates and a makeshift patio—open on weekends—on which to enjoy them. And of course, your furry friends are more than welcome!
Flashpoint Brewing Company · 7302 Autopark Drive, Huntington Beach
Flashpoint is another brewery with a weekend patio. We recommend any of their hard seltzers, which come in mouthwatering flavors including grapefruit, watermelon, and Moscow Mule.
Helmsman Ale House · 2920 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach
Newport Beach’s best all-ages beer garden has something for everyone. The socially distanced parklet patio is a perfect place for the kids to play some cornhole while you sip on saison.
